{"product_id":"still-life-with-flag-frida-kahlo-1","title":"Still Life with Flag - Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA late-career still life by Frida Kahlo, featuring a collection of fruit and a Mexican flag rendered with expressive, textured brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill Life with Flag, completed in 1954, represents one of the final works by the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. This painting depicts a collection of fruits, including watermelons and citrus, arranged upon a surface. The composition is notable for its heavy application of paint and the inclusion of a small Mexican flag, which provides a specific national context to the domestic subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKahlo often utilised the still life genre to explore themes of identity and mortality. In this particular work, the fruit is rendered with a tactile quality, showing the artist's interest in the physical presence of objects. The watermelon, a recurring motif in her later output, is presented in segments, revealing the interior texture of the fruit. The dark, moody background contrasts with the bright, saturated tones of the oranges and the red of the watermelon, creating a sense of weight and gravity within the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike her earlier, more precise portraits, this work displays a looser, more expressive brushwork. The paint is applied with visible texture, suggesting a sense of urgency or perhaps a reflection of the artist's declining health during her final year. The flag, positioned towards the back of the arrangement, acts as a quiet assertion of her Mexican heritage. This piece offers an insight into the artist's late-career focus on the material world, moving away from the complex symbolic narratives of her earlier self-portraits towards a more direct engagement with the objects of her immediate environment. The work remains a significant example of her ability to imbue everyday items with a sense of personal history and national pride, maintaining her distinct visual language until the end of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/untitled-composition-arshile-gorky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Composition) - Arshile Gorky — Arshile Gorky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frida Kahlo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58868972323151,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58868977205583,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58868977238351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58868977271119,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58868977303887,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Still-Life-with-Flag_Poster_CompositorV1_1790184428727.jpg?v=1790184819","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/still-life-with-flag-frida-kahlo-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
